According to DPS Sergeant Jimmy Morgan, the two-month-old child killed in the crash was identified as Kayce Cooper of Brenham.

Update @ 2:45 p.m.: DPS Sergeant Jimmy Morgan has confirmed the two-month-old child critically injured in a rollover accident on FM 2621 has died. The child was pronounced dead at Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston, after being Life Flighted.
Original Story @ 8:37 a.m.: Several people were hospitalized, including two children who suffered serious injuries, after a rollover accident Monday night in Washington County.
According to Doug Zweiner of the Prairie Hill-Rocky Hill Volunteer Fire Department, the accident occurred around 8 p.m. in the 10000 block of FM 2621.
Zweiner said the vehicle traveled through a fence and rolled over several times. It was found 50 yards off the road.
Update @ 11:55 a.m.: DPS Sergeant Jimmy Morgan said two children were ejected from the vehicle.
The youngest, a two-month-old child, as reported by Zweiner, was Life Flighted to Memorial Hermann Hospital in Houston. The oldest, approximately two to three-years-old, was taken by ambulance to CHI St. Joseph’s in Bryan, along with two female adults. According to Morgan, a one-year-old child suffered minor injuries, but was released.
Morgan said it does appear to troopers that worked the scene that there were passengers in the vehicle not properly secured.
Prairie Hill-Rocky Hill volunteer firefighters responded to the scene, along with the PHI helicopter, DPS, and Washington County EMS.
This is the second serious accident in a week on FM 2621, which is being used as a detour due to the closure on FM 50. Last week, Rhead Robbins, a May graduate of Brenham High School, was killed in a rollover crash after he was ejected from his vehicle.
